I see dead people. Well, in America they seem to.

Apparently people who vote don't always care about the candidate they vote for. All that matters is that he - in America anyway- is either Trump or - at a more local level - pro-Trump. So David Andahl got chosen as a House Representative. The people who elected this man did not seem to care the candidate of their choice was dead. Of course, being dead is a mere detail. What counts is that by voting you show the world you support Donald Trump, no matter wat. By the way: he died from COVID.

And those voters are not the only ones involving dead people into their belief that Trump is the chosen one and must be defended always and at all costs.

People are willing to lose all credibility just to catch a glimpse of Mr. Trump smiling at them.

Sydney Powell looks and sounds as if she's reading a ransom note: 'Please daddy, if you don't say mr. Trump won the elections those people behind me will torture me!' Perhaps she said a dead president is behind Trump losing to alert the people watching she is being held hostage.

She used to defend Mike Flynn but was recently added to the Public Relations team of lawyers hired by a former gameshow host to 'prove' the elections he lost were rigged. Blaming a dead communist president is the Trump's team latest trick. Just before the final trick: roll over and lay for dead.

How would you act in case there's a fire?

Fire! Leave the building immediately!

I once burned myself at a barbecue so I know getting burned is not that bad but merely a nuisance.

The people can take their own responsibility. It's not up to the government to tell them what to do.

It's just the burning of fabrics and stuff so it's okay to go to work and hug your friends when you're on fire.

The fire is a hoax. They just make you believe there's something burning in the kitchen. Don't worry.

Don't let them scare you: fire is completely natural!

Only my burn ointment works great. You can now buy it at a 10 percent discount after paying double the regular price.

And what if people were drowning and this is what others tell them?

Would you listen to others, trust your own instincts, wait how others respond, believe it's a hoax, think 'they' just want you to leave the building?

War on Drugs: what if rich (white) people were poor (black) people?

The only way for a person of colour in America to avoid being prosecuted for drug possession and/or abuse is to become rich and famous. Or white.

As recently - again - being proven by a member of the Brown family: Whitney Houston, her daughter Bobbi, her daughter's husband Gordon and recently Bobby Brown Jr. died from 'substance abuse'. Meaning they had too much cocaine, probably in combination with alcohol (the single most addictive kind of harddrug in the world. But legal. So that's okay.) and/or other 'substances' (American-English for drugs. Like 'bathroom' in American-English is not a place where you take a bath - as it is in the rest of the world) but where you shit. But in America nobody does that.)

So here's a question: if the 'war on drugs' isn't working (it obviously is not) to stop the producing, selling and using of drugs, why not make illegal drugs legal (as was done with alcohol, seddatives and antidepressants) and charge some taxes?

Another question: what if the police would see Charlie Sheen as a poor young black male in possession of five dollars worth of weed in stead of a rich older white dude 'who can't handle the pressure of being famous': would Charlie Sheen be alive today if he was black and poor?

Okay, one more question: Would people change their opinion if you'd swap the word 'drugs' for 'guns' in 'Guncontrol won't work. People will get their hands on them illegally anway.'?

The fish we eat swim in plastic soup

Plastics are polluting our beautiful planet. Bags, straws, packaging, discarded car tires...all bad. But the bigger worry is microbeads. Those tiny bits of plastic often come in producs like toothpaste, hair extensions and body scrubs. 

Retailers are now focusing on that nice glittery stuff often found in and on Christmas ornaments. 

Although it will help reducing the little pieces of plastic that turn up in the ocean (and therefore in the foodchain. So, yes, changes are you are digesting pure plastic when you have a nice piece of fish), it won't do as much good as banning synthetic clothing. Like the funny pinguin costume I like to wear on special occassions or that funny sweateryou got yourself for the Christmas party at work. 

Every time we wash those, little pieces of plastic they end up where they don't belong: in the environment

Yes, it helps to ban glitter but is makes more sense to stop buying funny costumes.

I started to ban plastic bags and buying 'care' products containing microbeads and this years Christmas ornaments will contain no glitter. How will you contribute to the reducing of plastic waste?

The Floor (a short story)

As soon as he saw her he knew he wanted to see more of her. 

Not much later he joined the poets' collective that she was a member of 

and during meetings he would make sure to be sitting opposite her for the best view.

Sitting next to her was rather sweet as well for then he could smell the scent of her hair. 

Of that of her sweat on the nights she had been to the gym 

and had not taken the time to shower first.

He did not need words to describe his feelings for her, others could do that.

Within a year he shared a Paris hotel room with her. Where he awoke on the floor.

You're on tape!

Thanks to voice recordings we know how Donald Trump thinks about women.

We also know how his wife thinks about Christmas and immigrant children.

America's First Lady (and Trump's third wife) seems to have forgotten she herself is an immigrant who - without her rich client husband - would still live a rather anonymous life.

This is all public information. Information their fans have too. So why do they still support the president and his misstress wife?

Perhaps because they're stupid?
